Chapter 2881 Sincerity
"Well, why not do this? What about selling this recipe to Herodian? Since it is already a matter of time before the recipe is leaked, it is better to change the bill before it flows out." Jian Yong suddenly said, "Recently, Herodian has become interested in the roads of the Han Dynasty."
"..." Chen Xi rolled his eyes. He still understood what Jian Yong meant. To put it bluntly, this guy was planning to earn a subsidy for money before the Fangzi was released, but Chen Xi didn't want to sell this for Rome at all.
However, the Romans have become interested now, so they can still control the Romans in the Han Dynasty. After the construction in the Western Regions starts, they may not be able to control them. Chen Xi does not believe that the Romans are always upright and so on. If they can be obtained by reverse cracking, the Romans will definitely choose reverse cracking.
"That guy is really sharp-eyed." Chen Xi said helplessly, "What price does he offer?"
"Two boxes of gold coins." Jian Yong thought for a while and said.
"It's so dark." Chen Xi said unhappily.
"The main reason is that the other party has a substitute." Jian Yong also said helplessly.
"I don't believe that they can't dig up the volcanic concrete in Qiqiu." Chen Xi said with a dark face. He knew that Rome had natural concrete. It was one of the famous records in world history. However, natural things meant that the yield was limited. Rome used that thing to build a Roman city and then built the road, but it could not be built.
Chen Xi really doesn't believe that the old guys, Xilodian, couldn't see the importance of this thing, and said with a shameless face that they also have substitutes. To put it bluntly, isn't it just to reduce the price?
"Tell him that for the sake of Han Luo's friendship, we also know that Rome is interested in this thing. Two hundred boxes of gold coins are given to them. Do you want it? " Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "Anyway, it's impossible to change the road construction of the unlucky children in the Western Regions. It's only a matter of time that the prescription is exposed. It's better to sell it to Rome to make money.
"Two hundred boxes of gold coins..." Jian Yong's mouth twitched twice, and Rome could not take it out.
"Just tell Herodian what you said. That guy will definitely make up for you. Even if he doesn't, Pompianus will definitely make up for it. There are many smart people in the Roman Senate, and they will definitely buy this thing. Even if there are any financial problems in Rome, the Senate will buy it with this thing." Chen Xi said with a sneer.
Chen Xi still knew about the demons and other things in the Senate in the Severus era. There were piles of rich people inside, and many local tyrants had mixed in the Senate, so the current Roman Senate was a mixture of fish and dragons. By the way, the financial officer Pompianus had long wanted to kill that group of people.
However, in the official history, Pompianus did not catch the opportunity to kill all of these people.
But this is not important. What is important is that the Romans enjoy the convenience of passing the road, so they know very well that if there is something to build their roads the same as the roads in Roman city, it would be worth it even if they spent half a year to buy them.
Because when the road is completed, they can make money by lying down. After all, relying on the Mediterranean, their materials will be operated very quickly. If the road is repaired, the speed of their materials will be transferred and circulation will be accelerated again, and many problems will no longer be problems.
Jian Yong did not discuss this matter again after hearing this. They knew that Chen Xi had some understanding of Rome, so Jian Yong did not doubt Chen Xi's judgment.
"Then I'll ask now. It just so happens that there is not much trouble here." Jian Yong nodded and packed up his things, stood up and said.
When Jian Yong met Herodian, Herodian was shopping in Chang'an. Speaking of which, there are all kinds of strange races in Chang'an. After seeing many merchants in the market, they don't feel anything special.
As for the handsome old man like Herodian with a little bit of Hu's nose, black hair and black eyes, the merchants in the market treated him as a Han man because Ma Chao looked like this, at most he felt that the other party had some Hu blood.
By the way, Herodian is also amazing. In just a few months, he has learned to nonsense with silk merchants and bargain with silk merchants, and to choose silk.
In other words, Herodian still said badly, but the Chinese language related to silk is very simple, so it should be said that it is obsession.
But then again, Jian Yong was actually very curious about how much money did this guy get when he came, so why did he see this guy either buying silk or on the way to buy silk?
Even if the silk in Chang'an is much cheaper than the silk in Rome, Herodian's way of buying it every day should be out of money. He didn't bring too many things when he came. He wouldn't have embezzled tributes, Jian Yong thought in secret.
"Hirodian, I have a good business to do with you." The Romans were straightforward, and Jian Yong's was very touched, and he was not very roundabout when speaking.
"Wait a moment, I'll buy two more pieces here and wait a moment before talking about it." Herodian said to Jane Yong while arguing with the silk merchant.
After Herodian settled with the silk merchant with gold, the guy carried the silk and said that the two went to the residence to discuss in detail.
Unlike the Han Dynasty's treatment of other countries, the Romans did not live in the area designated by the Great Honglu, but found a place to live together. It is said that recently there was even the idea of building a new house and sending people to settle as an envoy, but this plan is being discussed now.
"Xianhe sits here, I'll invite you to drink." Herodian looked quite honest, but anyone who treats this guy as a fool would definitely be a fool.
"Thank you." Jian Yong put down the wine glass and said with a smile, "I came here this time because you said you were interested in the road of the Han Dynasty last time. I happened to meet this time, so I asked, if you are interested, you can actually buy it."
Herodian held the wine bottle's hand and put it down directly. In this country, Herodien knew what Jian Yong's status was. At least Herodien knew the other party's identity and status would never be lower than his identity and status in Rome.
Since the other party can say such words, that is to say, it is not too difficult to realize what I mentioned casually at that time.
"Thank you, Xianhe, for saying that you are in harmony." Regardless of whether Jian Yong said that you are in harmony or not, Herodian would treat him as the other party and give him face, and he would also give him face.
"I will accept this thank you." Jian Yong smiled and put away the box that Herodian put into his hand. He didn't even open it to take a look, and his face still maintained the smile he deserved.
"That's right. Our side is too far from Rome, and there is little possibility of conflict between the two sides. Moreover, the Romans look quite similar to ourselves. Your courage is very satisfying. We think that the friendship between the two sides will last forever." After Jian Yong's hands, Herodian became much more calm.
"I think so too. No country on this continent is as suitable as an allies as Rome and the Han Dynasty." Herodian agreed deeply. Is it too nonsense to go to war with each other at such a distance? Or is it better to kill other countries as allies? Everyone is so strong, why do you have to compete for one go?
"Yes, so I'm here again, Chang'an, and other state roads, you've seen it, and you know how important this thing is to the country." Jian Yong smiled and asked, "How much interest are you in this thing?"
"Hahaha, Xianhe, aren't you just joking? Not only are you interested, this thing is really important to a country. When I mentioned this, I just thought about it. I didn't expect the Han Dynasty to be so generous." Herodian is now basically sure that the other party really wanted to take action, but he didn't quite understand why the Han Dynasty gave such an important thing so easily to the Romans.
"Because you are our potential allies, and your sincerity has convinced us. As allies, we cannot only make contributions. We must at least show the sincerity we deserve. We know that the Romans like silk and porcelain, but we should also know what kind of country we call our Han Dynasty in you." Jian Yong said with a solemn look.
Herodian nodded when he heard this. He was different from the Serrari boy. Silk and porcelain were obviously the most important part of this country. How could he teach it casually? Therefore, Herodian moved in the Han Dynasty for a long time and did not talk about it again in the end.
As for roads, it was caused by Herodian's sensitivity to the operation of the national system. What advantages would roads bring? After Herodian felt the difference between Roman and Chang'an, he had a clear understanding of this.
Therefore, Herodian really hoped to get this cement-made recipe, but the importance of this kind of thing Herodian never thought it could be easily obtained. If you look at the country's foundation, it would easily make both sides turn against each other, and Herodian was also hesitating.
This is why Herodian seriously revealed his interest in cement in front of Jian Yong, because he didn't want to use unreliable methods of surveillance. If he could obtain it from the official channels, it would be best to obtain it from the official.
"Don't pay attention to the prescription of silk and porcelain. This is a prerequisite. You also know the importance of cement. We are willing to use this thing as our sincerity to Rome." Jian Yong said in an extremely solemn tone.
